It’s been a while since we’ve posted to the blog but that doesn’t mean we haven’t been busy.
Here’s what’s been going on since our last post:
SugJester
SugJester ran into a number of problems right after our post. While we’re still excited about the prospect of this service we’re not actively working towards an actual release. It was certainly disappointing to put so much effort into something that we can’t really show anyone but believe me, we learned enough throughout the project that the time spent was worth it. Plus we created that sweet sugJester logo that hopefully we can use for something down the road.
Busy, Busy
Outside of SugJester we’ve been pretty busy. Along with the typical summer schedule busters we’ve also been buying and selling our homes, moving, and getting new pets. There’s also been plenty of smaller projects such as Timely Drive, an app that records your trips and helps you find the fastest way from one place to another.
Timely Drive has given me two very important things. First, the piece of mind that I am taking the best way home every night. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve sat in traffic wondering if I should have gone the other way home; not anymore! Second, and most importantly, it provided me with an opportunity to practice. I’ve been able to refine my ability to create apps, learn how to use location services and just become a better programmer. Projects like Timely Drive will never be released to the general public and they’ll never make any money but they give us the tools and the confidence to execute an idea.
There’s also PhonetiText, but that’s a different post entirely.
We’re Still Here
Basically this was just a post to let everyone know that we’re still alive and still working. I’d like to make some kind of New Year’s resolution that I’ll update the blog more often but that’s not the type of person I am. I’ll write something when I think there’s something interesting to be said. Something interesting, to me at least. That’s a start.
Thanks for all of the support. We’ll talk to you soon,
Matt
